La Tomate — Restaurant in Montpellier

Best french place in town with reasonable price. Have been in Montpelier for 3 days. Got luck (or maybe bad luck to start from so good place) that I came the first night. The following two nights I also went to high rated french places, but they were pricier and just so-so. Do not have time to go back, hopefully next time.

Their starter with duck pate, prosciutto, and salami was amazing. Everything just combined in your mouth to get the perfect point. Never had so good starter since years back in one of Joel Robuchon's place (3 star Michelin, 100+ euros for lunch). But their full 3-course set for dinner is just 17.5 euros.

Main course and dessert were not surprising me but still well above the average french places in town. I will definitely come here next time in Montpellier...

Whenever we are in Montpellier, which hasn't been for three years until yesterday because of Covid, we have a meal at La Tomate. It is traditional, unpretentious French cooking at its best and last night did not disappoint! I had fish soup and lamb shank and my partner had salmon and crevettes and boef bourguignon washed down with a pichet of the excellent local rosé. Everything was prepared with thought and care; the portion sizes were just right with the emphasis on quality not quantity; the service was friendly and efficient, and, for the quality of the meal we ate, the price was very reasonable....

For me the best restaurants in Montpelier with a very good price-performance ratio! We have been there the 1st time for lunch and we loved it so much, that we made a reservation for dinner the same day The service is excellent and very sympathetic! The dishes were absolutely authentic and of best quality. Our recommendations: the haring with potatoes the gazpacho the fish soup coming with an excellent rouille the frog legs with the right quantity of garlic the snails a delicious cassoulet le tartare and finally as dessert the café gourmand

I'm looking forward to come...
